Dean is quoted on the “broad support” speaking to “the program’s equity,” countering claims that the proposed stormwater fees would be inequitable.

From the news release:

“Through this program, all who contribute to the demands on our water, sewer and stormwater systems will pay for maintaining them,â€ Dean said.

â€œWhile this is not an ideal time to ask our citizens to pay more for anything, our business and environmental communities recognize this is a necessary measure to ensure our cityâ€™s continued economic growth and environmental sustainability.â€
